Presenting...RUNS LIKE HELL.

Published 12 days ago • 2 min read

​

Hey there,

Thomas here, checking in with a special note on a Sunday because we've just dropped the first episode in a project we've been cooking up for a while.

It's an interview show, with a twist.

We ask the questions over a 5k progression run.

As the pace heats up, so do the questions.

It's called RUN LIKE HELL.

And our very first guest is the amazing running comedian Laura Green.

Let us know what you think in the comments on YouTube, and let us know who we should target as the next guest.
